Bittensor Halving Countdown: Will Institutional Bets on Supply Squeeze Replicate Bitcoin’s Market Trend?

[Bittensor News] Is Bittensor about to halve? That’s right, December 14 is the date. At that time, TAO’s daily output will be slashed in half to 3,600 tokens.

Doesn’t this sound a bit like Bitcoin’s playbook back in the day? An analyst from a certain research institution recently put forward the view that: although mining rewards are decreasing, supply tightening often supports network value—Bitcoin’s four halvings have all validated this logic. Now it’s Bittensor’s turn, and this halving is considered a key step toward its 21 million supply cap.

What’s even more noteworthy is that the project introduced a new twist in February this year with the launch of the dTAO mechanism. Simply put, this allows subnets to directly make investments, resulting in the total market cap of those subnets rising rapidly. Coupled with the timing of the halving, some are starting to bet that: the early success of subnet applications, continuous inflow of institutional funds, and tightening supply—these three factors combined could serve as a price catalyst.

Of course, adoption momentum and institutional interest are indeed heating up. But can the halving really replicate Bitcoin’s legendary performance? We’ll have to see how the market digests this expectation over the next few months.
